As does Mr Clement apparently - zero minutes in competitive games and not even a run out for the B Team.

I was being sarcastic. We can sign Shankland on a free in January, why spend anything close to £4M on him now? Not as if clubs are queuing up to buy him.

I think we take £4M for Dessers and buy Shankland from Hearts. Problems solved - CL qualification and SPFL title secured. 👌

Or keep him, he scores the goals that get us to CL and £4.2M is a "drop in the ocean".... "£5M down the drain, Dessers scores again".....🎶🎶🎶

Last word on Dessers - there needs to be a willingness to leave.

Your willing to take a loss on your top goalscorer with no guarantee we are going to replace him or his goals? That's utter madness. All players have a price but we can't be selling our top scorer (and our only regular scorer) for a loss.

We've apparently received a £4.2M bid for Dessers. With only a half-fit Danilo and the unknown Igamane, it would be absolute madness to accept (unless we have someone lined up 100%). Dessers already on 2 goals for the season, a brilliant finish that gor us out of jail in Tuesday and the important (earlyish) opener yesterday. He does appear to score important goals.

Rewind a bit further, the ball is kicked out by Motherwell keeper to Motherwell player on half-way line who was completely unmarked. We were then exposed down the right flank. A real comedy of errors.

Barron for me with mentions to Cerny and Dessers.

I did say I was joking (cough - nerd - cough) 🙂

Do you have stats on how many times they gave the ball away? Or misplaced passes? Or crossed the ball to no-one? Or missed challenges? I'm joking by the way 🙂 Maybe coincidence but the subs appeared to kill all our momentum. But lets focus on the positives - Cerny looked very good, Dessers with another goal and Barron was outstanding.

Has Shankland scored........

Take it all back, our full backs (especially Tav) are our bestest players 😉

After a decent 1st half, we ended up hanging on against a Morherwell team ravaged by injuries. 1st win of season, Barron was outstanding, Cerny looks a player, Propper had an eventful debut, Dessers scores again. Ridvan and Tav remain weak links in the team. So much breaks down with them due to their lack of final ball. Also both posted missing defensively.

We've been poor in 2nd half thus far.

As an aside my allocated seat at Hampden is decent even of it is in C3ltic end 🙂

Sloppy goal apart, playing well offensively. Defence still giving me palpitations.

Pick. That. Out.

Our defence is an utter joke

Rangers 2 v 0 Motherwell Dessers FGS

Wright is an enigma but must have some thing, as both Gio and Clement appear to rate him (as do his team-mates). Cantwell was training with the B-Team so I was surprised to see him training with the 1st team in today's photos (Igamane was there as well). We are still short in many positions but we just have to go with what we've got until we get more bodies in.

Hagi posted a social media post saying he's completed 2nd week of pre-season. Makes him slightly ahead of Igamane 😆

Said previously, full back area (both sides) are a major concern for me. Sterling and Jefte may be the best 2 at the moment but Sterling struggling for fitness (as well as being the "utility" player in the squad) and Jefte will cover Cortes injury. That leaves us with Tav and Yilmaz. We don't have a second striker - Dessers only fit striker we have! Maybe move Cerny or Matando into that role? Cantwell has been training with 1st team squad this week - does this suggest he may be in managers thoughts?

One I'd like to see with players we currently have ; Butland Tav Propper Souttar Jefte Dio Sterling Cerny Lawrence Matondo Dessers I think PC will go with Yilmaz at LB with Jefte further forward. Also think he'll rest Barron (as I have) and start with Sterling. PC will also go with Dowell or Lawrence as the #10

No likey, no likely and gave me palpitations.
